1950 Map of Solomon

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The coastal frontier of the Seward Peninsula is captured here during the mid-century, revealing a landscape defined by gold mining history and Indigenous settlements along Norton Sound. Inland from the coast, the network of watercourses like the Casadepaga River and Fish River provided critical access to remote interior mining districts. Evidence of the region’s earlier boom remains visible through labels for the Big Hurrah Mine and Uncle Sam Mine, while the social infrastructure of the trail system is preserved in the presence of the Ruby Roadhouse and Portage Roadhouse. Along the eastern shore, the Native Reservation Boundary encompasses the settlement of Elim. The map traces vital transportation routes of the era, from the coastal Port Safety to the Tractor Trail and Winter Trail systems that connected isolated outposts across the Darby Mountains and the interior village of Council.
